Description:
This appears to be a 1740 or soDutch musket that the British gave to the colonies of America to fight the French, and Indians as they didn;t  give up their Brown Besses as England was at wwar all over the world rrying to keep control of it's colonies as well as fight the French on all frints , and along it's life this musket was surcharged US during the Rev, War. Most likely converted down South at the beginning of the Civil War. Looks like about .75 cal on the heavy 41 1/2" barrel with exterior metal in brown patina . The surcharged lock is working well, with a black smith made hammwr and a pistol size nipple.Verifing the Southern use during the C. W. The original full stock has chips, and slivers along the barrel channel, Comes with what appears to be original brass furniture aged a deep mustard color . The side lock screws has brass escheceons and the front lock screw is longer. The ram-rod looks very old and would work but the tip is chipped or damaged . This is a rare gun! REv War use and C.W use also.  When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith  before  shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost.   We don’t have a web  site .I prefer money orders or a check.  Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns  affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of  older guns If you attempt to buy,  you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed.  Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only.  I’m easy to get along with. Thank You.
